an acquaintance mounted his rotopax here. I like the use of that space.

If you're worried about the wing nuts working loose there's an old desert racer's trick that will stop it. Drill a small hole at the tip of the ears of both wing nuts. Then get a coil spring that will *just* stretch enough to reach from hole to hole. The trick is to hook the spring in the hole of the ear that has to TIGHTEN in order from the spring to relax.doc said:I've been brainstorming and reviewing others approach to mounting a shovel. I came up with this, which was easy to do.
I'm probably overly conservative, but in bad winds would it be enough to snap the top of the shovel off? I'm uncomfortable with the potential to litter a piece of metal onto a roadway that could cause an accident for someone else. That said, seems some have managed with bungies or other strap devices and been ok...
edit: I have no idea why the photos are rotated 90 degrees... nor how to fix it. :-\
Both have the chance of nasty unexpected combustion but I assume that gasoline is more dangerous in a collision. Think Pinto. Plus if a gasoline container leaks in that compartment can fumes enter the inside of the camper? Jerry can or propane bottle; seems bottle is more resistant to loss of contents...but hey, I could be wrong.rubberlegs said:We only use one of the two propane cannisters, and put a 2 gal grey water bucket where the other one was. But I was thinking of putting fuel in there. Any thoughts on putting fuel in the propane compartment? Strap it in like the propane cannister.
